Brass Knuckles feat. Dom from Big Gigantic

The Masters of Ceremony is the first EP in a series created to fortify the cultural aspects of Hip Hop. We took it back to ground zero in creating these songs. The sole purpose of the MC is to energize, invigorate, and guide the listener to a higher state of mind, whether that be reflection, relaxation or enlightenment. This is the culture and not the business of Hip Hop, to serve as a tuning fork to the emotions, that we may contemplate our current state collectively and forge our collective destiny with heightened perspective. A lot of people MC, but many have no idea what it really means.

Masters Of Ceremony

Taken from the forthcoming release Strange Journey Volume Three. Produced by Kno. Photography by Sol Exposure.

In The City f. Zumbi Of Zion I

On the heels of the very boom bap oriented "Masters of Ceremony" EP, Zion I drops "Libations" the reflective 2nd installment of their 3 part series.  "This project was heavily influenced by one of my best friends passing away suddenly", states Zumbi, "His death put me in a mood to really analyze my life and how short this existence really can be.  It opened my eyes and heart to both the ugliness and beauty of what we experience while alive."  Hence, "Libations" broods with reflection and deep emotion.  "To me, libation is when you honor someone by pouring out your brew before you sip, its a sort of prayer.  On this EP, I poured out some liquor for my homie,  as well as my family, and myself" shares Zumbi.  The EP features production from AmpLive, Headnodic, and newcomer Featherload.  It also has veteran MC's Mr Lif, Sadat X, and Opio featured prominently amongst others.  Now ease back, and sip some of this heady wine from the Zion I cup.

Chris Crack - Love Is Still Awesome

In an age of innumerable bedroom producers and DIY beatmakers, encountering one with a distinctive flavour to their music is becoming near impossible. This is refreshingly not the case, however, for Deft (aka Yip Wong). Having already manned several flagship labels of dance music such as WotNot, Brownswood, Hypercolour and Project Mooncircle (who billed Deft for their 2013 BR session), Deft draws musical, technical and stylistic influence from anything and everything in his musical creations. Initially a drummer, he now produces music which audibly tips its hat to hip hop, footwork, house, jungle and beyond. Check his 2014 "Emeralds" track for what we believe to be the ultimate embodiment of all of Deft's different musical pedigrees.

His latest venture on 20/20 LDN Recordings, the Blackest EP, takes a step back from the forward-propelling, Machinedrum-esque footwork drum rhythms that are prevalent in plenty of Deft's previous work. Here, the focus is on the deeper and darker. "After hearing what [label founders] Ivy Lab had in mind for 20/20, it instantly brought me back to the early beats scene," says Deft. "The beats scene was something that got me excited back when it emerged properly. I felt that excitement again with 20/20." Each of Blackest's five tracks stand out for varying reasons, but it's the penultimate one – a Tehbis and Touchy Subject collaboration – that has resonated with us beyond comparison. A track that seems to continually metamorphose within its 3.5 minute timeframe, so many musical territories are broached that it's pretty impossible to summarise. Initially luring you in through an ethereal world of crystallised synth fragments, the forecast slowly grows murkier, as the entire tracks gets sucked into dizzying whirlwind of dubby drums and electric static. A notable comeback from a truly talented beatsmith.

Blackest EP will be available both digitally and on vinyl on 8th April via 20/20 LDN Recordings and all good record stores.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Make up your mind,
I know you're wondering why
I see this shit ain't as easy as it once was
But I'm sure you'll be fine.
Beauty ain't no issue for someone like you
You should know better
Cause there ain't no better

Hook:
Invite Me
(Don't be ashamed)
Don't fight me
(I ain't running no game)
Though I can't lie,
When you deny,
It kind of excites me.

Verse 2:
Make up your mind, 
This shit ain't rocket science.
And girl i apologize
If i can't stay the night.
I just got so much shit on my mind.
Beauty ain't no issue for someone like you
You should know better
Cause there ain't no better

Hook:
Invite Me
(Don't be ashamed)
Don't fight me
(I ain't running no game)
Though I can't lie,
When you deny,
It kind of excites me.

Outro:
Girl you're so, beautiful (don't be ashamed)
Girl you're so beautiful (i ain't playing games)
... (don't be ashamed)
Girl you're so beautiful (don't be ashamed)
